The point of my post was this part:
Let's not string the man up over a few solids that may not even be representative of the production run. OK, there is a problem with a few pieces and it has been documented here. Now let's see if there are many others with the same issues. If there are, then let's see how it all is handled.
Sounded reasonable to me when I posted it and I still say the same.
Jay Strongwater is taking quite a bashing over what is so far an isolated problem. Your words about him so far when I posted were:
“Perhaps it's time he stopped flitting around the world, signing everything that is not nailed down, and got back to business.”
“this is inexcuseable behaviour on Mr. Strongwater's part”
“we, the lowly collectors who have supported him forever, are merely speed bumps in his life of luxury.”
You're not bashing Jay? Wow, sounds like a bit of a bashing to me.
…and about your reaction:
“I'm steamed.”
“heartbroken”
“I put my head in my hands and just sobbed”
Seriously, do you think maybe there's a slight chance you are overreacting just a tad? I can see being disappointed, but all this? You are absolutely entitled to your opinion and are more than welcome to post it here as you have done 23 times so far on this thread. I don't see my single post as a “slap on the wrist” or “words to freeze the topic”, just as my opinion.
With everything going on with Estee Lauder solids, I think Jay Strongwater brings us the best chance for an increase in the originality of design, overall quality and long-term value of products. Casting him as an uncaring money hungry publicity hound is, in my view, far-fetched and inaccurate.
I guess I'm up to $0.04 now.
